BARREL-HOIST.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 469,703, dated March 1, 1892.

Application filed October 26, 1891- Serial No. 409,761. (No model.)

.['0 aIZ Z whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, DAVID O. KIMMEL and JOHN KECK, citizens of the United States,

' residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Barrel- Hoists; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in barrel-hoists, the features of which will be fully hereinafter described and claimed.

The object of our invention is to hoist barrels with a view to placing the same in position to draw off the contents in retail establishmentsl The object is accomplished by the device shown in the accompanying illustration, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device with a portion cut away. Fig. 2 is atop view of the elevating-frame.

Like letters in the two views designatelike parts.

The supporting-frame A comprises two uprights connected at the top by the cross-piece J, braced by two semicircular bars, one of which is movable, and the transverse crosspieces K at bottom to form a base, which are made rigid by oblique braces. The rear semicircular brace, corresponding to the brace F, is rigidly attached to the frame. The front brace is hinged to the right upright by the staple v and is secured to the left upright by a slot of said brace embracing the staple to, through which a pin is passed to 'make the same fast.

In the top of the supporting-frame is secured the nut m, threaded to receive the screw 0. In the enlarged top end of this screw in a suitable orifice is held the handle D for operating said screw. The lower end of the screw is passed through an orifice in the elevating-frame B, the washer n, and is secured in position by the pin 0. The elevating-frame comprises four arms, the pairs arranged at a right angle. The longitudinal arms bear on the chine of the barrel and the-transverse arms may bear either on the chine or on the barrel-head. The sustaining-rods s s are curved at their lower ends to engage the chine of a barrel, and the threaded upper ends enter orifices of said elevating-frame, and are secured therein by nuts bearing on the upper surface.

In the illustration the barrel G (shown in cross-section) is suspended in the frame or hoist, and in this position the stool I (shown in dotted lines) is placed beneath for the permanent. support of the barrel.

In Fig. 2 is shown a top view of the elevating-frame, and the'circular line G shows the position of the barrel-chine.

The operation is thus described: Place the hoist over the up-ended barrel, put the sustaining-rods beneath the chines, then turn the nuts at the topuntil the elevating-frame 1s firmly held against the top chine, fasten the semicircular brace, and turn the screw until the barrel is elevated to a proper height. To release the barrel, reverse the operation. The transverse arms of the elevating-frame can be dispensed with.

4 Having fully described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat-- ent, is

1. In a barrel-hoist, the combination of the supporting-frame A, the elevating-frame B, provided with arms to engage the chine of a barrel, the supporting-rods s s, with hooks to engage the lower chine of a barrel, and the elevatingscrew C, provided with a handle and held in a nut inthe top of said supporting-frame, substantially as set forth.

2. In a barrel-hoist, the combination of the supporting-frame A, provided with the rigid semicircular brace and a like movable brace, the elevating-frame B, provided with arms, the supporting-rods s 5, held in said arms and provided with hooks on their lower ends, and the screw 0, held in the top of said supporting-frame, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own we affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
